Patent GB-190314118-A (GB)
Title: An Improvement in or in connection with the Production or Transfer of Impressions on to Stone, Plates and the like, for Printing therefrom.
Inventor: HAWLEY WILLIAM
Filed: 1903-06-25
Granted: 1904-02-11
Abstract: 14,118. Hawley, W., Taylor, J. W., and Taylor, R. T. June 25. Transfers.-To obtain a transfer from a retained copy or print, the printed copy previously taken from a stone, block, plate, or the like is preferably pulled for the purpose on enamelled paper, with a coating of glycerine. Diluted transfer ink is then applied over the impression by means of a sponge or soft rag, and the superfluous ink and glycerine are sponged off with clean water, leaving the transfer ink adhering to the already-printed impression of the copy, which may then be employed as a transfer. If the copy is on uncoated paper, it is preferably treated in the first instance with a mucilage of gum.

Title: Improved Method and Apparatus for Coking Hydrous-bituminous Combustibles.
Inventor: HOERING PAUL
Filed: 1903-10-12
Granted: 1904-01-28
Abstract: 21,968. H÷ring, P., and Mj÷en, J. A. Oct. 12. Coking; peat. -- In a method and apparatus for the coking of hydrous bituminous combustibles, such as peat, the steam generated in the drying process is led into the zone or chamber in which the coking takes place. The drying and coking preferably takes place in the same vessel. The drying-chamber is opened at intervals by the valve c so that dried material falls into the coking- chamber e. Steam evolved in the drying-chamber is led by the chamber f or conduits b to the bottom part of the coking- chamber e. The steam and gases evolved in coking are drawn by the fan q through the conduit g and pass into the surrounding chamber h, from which they leave the apparatus. The coke is removed by the curved conduit k. In other forms, the drying and coking chambers are continuous and the steam is sucked downward or through chambers f as before. In one form, the lower part of the furnace is surrounded by a water chamber, in which steam is generated by heat from the coke leaving the oven, to be conducted to the coking zone of the same or another oven.

Abstract: 6736. Soc. Anon. d'ElectricitÚ et d'Automobiles Mors. Dec. 12, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A D. 1901]. Gas or explosive-vapour engines.-To reduce the speed of the explosion engine of a motor road vehicle when thrown out of gear, a cord X, attached at one end to the normally-stationary lever F, and at the other to the arm E of the throttle or other valve situated at the outlet of the carburetter, passes over and receives motion from the pulley C, fixed to the arm B, of the clutching-pedal A. The full lines show the pedal in the clutching position, and the valve open. When the pedal is depressed for unclutching, as shown by the dotted lines, the speed is reduced by the closing of the spring-controlled inlet valve.

Granted: 1906-06-14
Abstract: 7960. Miller, T. April 2. Moulding boots and shoes.-Relates to an apparatus for moulding rubber &c. soles, heels, and foxing-strips on to canvas or other shoes such as are used for tennis, yachting, &c., and securing them in place by vulcanization of the rubber while under great pressure. It consists of a mould 10 Figs. 2 and 3, made in one piece and having the same contour as the complete sole 13, heel 12, and foxing-strip 14, while further it is constructed so that the lasted shoe when in position fits closely along the line 15. This mould rests on a steamchest 2, which itself rests on, or is made in one piece with, the table 1, while the last 17 is yieldingly supported above the mould by a tension screw 6 adapted to work through a yoke 5. A number of moulds may be fitted in the one press. The shoe is lasted in the usual way, while the sole blank may bs cut to the exact shape required and the foxing-strip laid round the sole and upper in the mould ; or the sole may be cut larger and bevelled off as at 19, Fig. 5, to form the foxing- strip ; or, further, it may be cut of sufficient thickness so that the extra stock will flow round the vamp to form the foxing-strip. When the pressure is applied, the lasted shoe fits the line 15 of the mould so closely that the rubber is forced through the material of the vamp, and a firm cohesion of the various parts is obtained. In making rubber shoes, the heel, sole, and foxing- strip may be first moulded and partly vulcanized, then cemented to the upper, and the whole completely vulcanized in the usual manner.
